Down East was rained out and Round Rock has the day off, but Frisco balances that out somewhat by playing a doubleheader after last night’s rainout.
Cole Ragans made his second start of the year for the Hickory Crawdads, and it went much better than the first. Ragans went 4 innings, striking out 5 and walking 2 while allowing 3 hits. Per Mark Parker, the one run he allowed was due largely to a couple of defensive lapses by Ragans, first by allowing a runner to reach on an infield single by not covering first, then by getting just one out on a potential GIDP comebacker. For someone who has not been in game action for as long as Ragans has, though, some rust there is understandable.

You want the rundown of tonight’s minor league performances? We got it for you.
T.K. Roby, the Rangers third round pick in 2020, made his pro debut tonight for low-A Down East. Roby went 2.1 IP and struck out 3 while not allowing a hit. He did walk one and hit a batter, though, and threw a pair of wild pitches. Still, an impressive debut for the 19 year old righthander.
In our Evan Carter Watch, we note that Carter went 1 for 5 with a double and three Ks. Luisangel Acuna had a single and a homer, and Keyber Rodriguez and Keithron Moss each had two hits.
